CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Questions and Answers, Hacking a Miele

A relative splurged on a Miele Built-In system (CVA 4066 I think) for their new house. I was surprised at how weak the coffee was for such a deluxe machine, even at the strongest settings. Does anyone have any tips, links, etc on how to hack the machine to make stronger coffee? Even though the house is great, I am not sure I can visit if the coffee does not meet even my low standards.
